THEME: GOD IS LOVE
1 John 4:7-11
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
INSIGHT
-The statement “you do not know God” is somehow limiting and at the same time defiles the whole essence of human life. Spirituality forms the better part of our existence; for without God we are nothing. We see from Biblical references, God reveals Himself and His Deity to us from the beginning and to the end. God has created us in His image and likeness and has called us to be like him through love, for He is love. Since we have been born of God and know Him, then we should love one another. He has also commissioned us to go all over the world to proclaim His gospel of truth and has given us power to exhibit love to the world since we are the perfect references of Christ-likeness. Jesus demonstrated pure love by sacrificing His own life for the propitiation for our sins and calls us to love, for love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). God also calls to share what we have with orphans and widows as a demonstration of love, and keep ourselves from being polluted by the world (James 1:27). Jesus died once and for all so that we may live forever with Him. This He did not because we are good but because His love for us endures forever. We are called to love one another because God loved us first, and we have been created in His nature and likeness, for God is love.
